It’s 11:45 p.m. The music at Club Congress is pulsing through you almost to the point of becoming a tangible object, able to be held in your palm. Instead, you’re holding a drink just purchased from one of the three well-stocked bars within yards of the dance floor. Soon, you’re in the middle of it—a DJ is standing at the gothic-inspired stage, just visible above the throng of attractive Tucsonans shaking, bouncing and gyrating. Off to the side, you notice members of a band who just ended their show across the street, checking out the scene. You smile to your friends, and reflect: You didn’t start the night here, and you may not end it here … but you’ll be back (barring the end of the world, of course), and soon—because your favorite drink is on special tomorrow night.
